WR Puka Nacua LAR (4 Viewers)

[Hot Sauce Guy]

PPR League-winning upside.

Doing great as my WR2 this week since Watson is out again.

Probably will flex him next week if Montgomery misses time.

Spent 50.5% on him and money well spent so far!

Just saw an update that Monty is a thigh bruise.

Imma flex Puca anyway. Just can’t bench a guy getting double digit targets every week.

guy's a stud...be interesting to see how Kupp fits back in

They got their next Kupp

Yeah, he is getting his against the 49ers. That seals it for me.

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

For Nacua, tho, it seems to me he needs a very specific set of conditions to go 10 rec for 150 yards. Mainly against zone coverage when the linebackers are leaving the middle of the field open. I'm not sure he has the ability to win consistently when that's not the situation. Hopefully I'm wrong.

He’s on pace to obliterate that today. 9/10 for 87 with most of a half to go.

Well he’ll theoretically see lesser coverage with Kupp back. That’s probably a good thing.

And yeah, the future looks bright. 5th round rookie gold.
(IDP leagues, so lots of defensive players drafted before him)

Time and time again these guys come out of nowhere

Atwell looks good too as an aside and so does williams

 

[Gjallarhorn]

Please dont hate me, I chickened out and put Nuk in over him at the last second. His 3:05 start time and questionable designation scared me too much. Good to all of you running him out there today.

I am so bad…

 

[Da Franchise]

I really regret ignoring the Rams. Wasn’t expecting Stafford to bounce back like this. That injury ate him up last year. Give McVay a good QB and I’ll show you a good offense.

 

[RenegadeRoy]

Wasn’t expecting Stafford to bounce back like this.

Same. He looks dialed in.

 

[(HULK)]

I didn't play him today but he's locked in my lineup moving forward.

 

[Jacob's Ladder]

Amazing

 

[Da Franchise]

Right on cue

Welp....

 

[Gjallarhorn]

Can someone who has seen him play comment on how he looks? Is he open all the time or is Stafford fitting it into tight spaces?

He's very frequently open. Similar to Kupp, Stafford seemingly always has one eye on him.

I’ve watched half of this game. He’s as smooth a route runner as they come, and he has soft hands.

He looks the ball into his hands every play with good concentration. He’s adept at giving Stafford a good target.

I’m impressed

Only issue is his lack of TDs. I'm worried

Puka was born open.

 

[sho nuff]

Ummm yeah he will be at worst my WR 2. I have some decisions in the coming weeks or some trade bait to improve my roster.

 

[Wrigley]

15 receptions

Holy cow

 

[Gjallarhorn]

TWENTY, EFFING, TARGETS!!!!

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

15 receptions

Holy cow

I didn’t think he’d get 15 targets again.

Wow

 

[ZADO]

Imagine if he scored TDs ??

 

[dipandglide]

Wow! Congrats to the Nakiua holders. This is about as good as it gets for late round picks in dynasty (or WW in redraft).

Wow

Technically, he didn't

 

[taylormeetstheismann]

The chances of more action than last week except for getting into the end zone just weren’t great. Anything close to last week would have been a very positive sign. I’m speechless about week two. I can’t imagine any kind of historical comparison. A Star Is Born!

 

[OU#1]

15 for 146 on 20 targets

4 rush yards

30+ in PPR

 

[Pip's Invitation]

Wow! Congrats to the Nakiua holders. This is about as good as it gets for late round picks in dynasty (or WW in redraft).

Late (19th) round in redraft here!

Football Night In America recapped the 49ers-Rams game and didn’t mention Nacua at all…

[TVT 0 N S T A]

Just came here to gloat. I'm so glad I picked this guy up. He's a full start for me ROS, barring Kupp's return.

20 targets? Are you kidding me. Might be the best waiver wire add of the decade for me. Haven't felt this type of thrill since Arian Foster, Alfred Morris late round flyers were a thing.

Congrats to anyone in the Puka sweepstakes. Enjoy the ride.

Arian Foster was a 4th/5th rounder that year, but, yeah, that was a thrill. Mine was Odell Beckham.

 

[Hoh]

Pretty sure his name means “no worries”

 

[Max55]

Please raise hand if you picked up Puka, left him on your bench bc you didn’t believe week 1 could possibly happen again, lost bc of that decision, and yet are thrilled he’s on your team.

 

[SonnyD]

Not 100% and playing against a great 49ers defense....yikes don't have much confidence of a repeat from last week

Again, the secondary isn’t the 49ers strength, and Nacua appears to be a pass funnel for the Rams.

I’m not expecting 15 targets/10 catches, but 6/80/1 wouldn’t shock me at all.

No?

 

[ProstheticRGK]

Man, I’m never listening to @Wrigley again. Shoulda kept Puka in

 

[jobarules]

I picked him up and started him over McLaurin. I'm just mad I didn't get him in both leagues

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

No?

Said so earlier in the topic. I figured maybe 10 tops.

Happy to be wrong.

 

[ignatiusjreilly]

Probably would have lost regardless, but everything else fits me to a T

 

[Loipz]

Puka !!!!!

 

[cantstop1999]

What running back should I try to get for him

 

[barackdhouse]

What running back should I try to get for him

Kyren Williams

 

[dschuler]

Great day for all of us Puka truthers! This is only the beginning!

 

[BigAl21]

I own in a few spots and will try to sell high. I’m mad that I didn’t try to buy this week in the leagues I didn’t get him… prior to today would a 2nd and 3rd get him?

 

[The Future Champs]

Just changed one team name to "Puka Haunt Us". Haters to the back of the line.

 

[barackdhouse]

Pukachu-chu

 

[taylormeetstheismann]

I will not be discouraged if week three is 3/7 and 47 yards.

 

[IHEARTFF]

15 targets week 1 lmao

Puka laughs at 15 targets and says how about 15 catches week 2 brahs

And in my case it's looking like he would have been the difference.
